5. Go Out With Your Coworkers

This is an easy tip to start with if you’re struggling to make friends.

When you’re a new intern with a company, don’t be surprised if your coworkers invite you to go out.

Your colleagues will want you to feel welcomed and part of the team.

Often times companies will have a once a week dinner or after working hours activity to boost the team morale.

6. Go Dating

Everyone loves dating right?

Well in this instance we aren't necessarily saying you're going to meet the love of your life. But dating is a great opportunity to meet new people and have fun.

However, don't take dating too seriously during your international internship because you're only in that country for a limited time.

And if you do happen to meet your future significant other, then that's a win-win situation.

7. Get Out Of Your Room

Get out of your room. This one may seem so simple but it’s a major step in making friends.

After a long week at your internship you may feel like watching TV all weekend, but its important to go out and be social.

Take it from Study International, "spending too much time in front of a screen can be a real handicap when it comes to the social game."

Social anxiety or a feeling of homesickness may come over you during your internship abroad but the best way to get over these emotions is to get out of your room and be active.

8. Discover The Nightlife In Your New City

Here’s a fun tip to take advantage of.

Go and explore the nightlife on a Friday night or whenever you have free time away from your internship.

Derrick from NewLifeESL says, “Going out at night is a great way to meet friends when you first arrive in a new city. It’s also a great spot where you can go with your co-workers to build stronger bonds while off the clock.”

You’re sure to find a club, bar, or some kind of entertainment venue which you will enjoy and have the chance to make friends.
